Part 1

Do you look out the window at the scenery when travelling by bus or car?

Score: 64.0

Suggestion: Improve grammar and fluency: use correct verb forms and clearer sentence structure. Start with a direct topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using a linking word. Avoid redundancy (e.g. "by bus and by car" repeated).

Example: Yes, I usually look out the window when I travel by bus or car. For example, I enjoy watching rolling hills and rivers because they are relaxing, so I often take photos to remember the views.

Do you take photos of the scenery outside the car window?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Correct verb forms and article use, and make the answer more concise and organised. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then give specific examples and a reason using a linking word (e.g. "because" or "so"). Avoid repeating devices (camera and smartphone) without purpose.

Example: Yes, I usually take photos from the car window. For instance, I bring a small camera and sometimes my smartphone to capture the sky, beaches and mountains, because these scenes change quickly and I want to keep the memories.

Do you prefer the mountains or the sea?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: Improve accuracy and coherence: correct tense and place names, and provide a clear reason or brief comparison using linking words. Keep to maximum five sentences and avoid conflicting tenses (wanted vs. enjoyed).

Example: I prefer the sea to the mountains because I love swimming and relaxing on the beach. For example, I have always wanted to visit Nha Trang beach in Vietnam, and I imagine I would enjoy swimming there and watching the sunrise.

Grammar

Present tense issue

× Yes, I definitely see out the window and I traveling by bus and by car.

Yes, I definitely look out the window when I travel by bus or by car.

The original sentence has incorrect verb forms and tense usage. 'See out the window' is unnatural; 'look out the window' is the correct collocation (verb + preposition). 'I traveling' lacks the auxiliary and should be 'I travel' for simple present habitual action. Also use 'when' to connect the clauses and 'or' instead of 'and' to indicate either mode. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions and correct verb-preposition collocations.

Verb + -ing form

× I love to see the spectacular scenery and take a lot of photos of it.

I love seeing the spectacular scenery and taking a lot of photos of it.

After 'love', both infinitive and -ing forms are possible, but when listing simultaneous habitual activities, the -ing form sounds more natural: 'love seeing' and 'taking'. This keeps parallel structure. Suggestion: use gerunds for activities you enjoy doing regularly.

Present tense issue

× Yes, when I traveling by car I always bring a small camera with me to take a photos of the sky, the beach and some mountains.

Yes, when I travel by car I always bring a small camera with me to take photos of the sky, the beach, and some mountains.

'I traveling' is missing the auxiliary for continuous or should be simple present 'I travel' for habitual actions. Also 'a photos' is incorrect article + plural; use 'photos' without 'a'. Add comma in list for clarity. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions and match singular/plural forms with articles.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I also use my smartphones as well.

I also use my smartphone as well.

Using 'my smartphones' suggests multiple devices; likely 'my smartphone' (singular) is intended. Also 'also' and 'as well' are redundant together; choose one. Suggestion: use singular 'smartphone' if referring to one device and avoid redundant adverbs.

Sentence structure errors

× I prefer sea to mountains.

I prefer the sea to the mountains.

When comparing preferences for general places, use definite articles 'the sea' and 'the mountains'. The structure 'prefer X to Y' requires both nouns in proper form. Suggestion: include articles for specific general categories: 'the sea' and 'the mountains'.

Present perfect / Past tense issue

× I have always wanted to go to the Nyachang beach in Vietnam, which I really enjoyed swimming.

I have always wanted to go to Nyachang Beach in Vietnam and really enjoy swimming there.

The original mixes present perfect 'have always wanted' with past 'enjoyed' incorrectly and misuses 'which' and verb form. If the desire continues and swimming is a general enjoyment, use present 'really enjoy swimming there'. Also 'Nyachang Beach' is a proper noun and does not need 'the' (unless locally used). Suggestion: keep tense consistent and use correct relative structures; if referring to past experience, rewrite as 'which I really enjoyed swimming in' or better 'and really enjoy swimming there' for general preference.
